WP6 Conferences and Advisory Board

WP6.1

Public Conferences

There will be three major conferences. The target size for participants is 120-160 persons. The inaugural conference at the National University of Civil Engineering (NUCE) is primarily designed to communicate our project and our project goals to a broader audience, bringing relevant stakeholders to the forefront of our project. Above all, the status conference at the Vietnamese Institute of Building Materials (VIBM) serves to present our empirical research results, policy approaches and other project activities for discussion. The feedback received should adapt our measures even better to the local conditions. The presentation conference at the newly established Competence Center for Sustainable Construction in Vietnam (CCSB-UN) will present our final project results and show strategies for achieving lasting effects beyond the funding period.
